From the late 1970s into the deep origins of the BURNING MAN festival, till today, the documentary explores the evolution of the now largest counter-cultural event in North America. Using footage that has never been seen, and interviews of the founders like John Law and Larry Harvey, of artists like the Flaming Lotus Girls and Pepe Ozan, and other participants, the film brings a critical perspective about BURNING MAN that no other documentaries have visited and reveals a past buried into the memories of a few that have long been forgotten but influenced the festival in powerful ways.
Buy your tickets in advance, to avoid getting upset at me because the show is SOLD OUT once again.

The movie was made completely independently... no corp behind it whatsoever and highly depends on the word of mouth, so please let everyone know. On top of filming for the film over the 5 past years, I've spent more time filming artists and their art in the bay area and at Burning Man, giving all my footage away for free. Supporting this film will allow to continue to support artists there. I've helped many artists over the years, but the one I've worked the closest with are the fantastic Flaming Lotus Girls. You can read more about that here:
